[issue19555] "SO" config var not getting set

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment:

Never mind, this is an intentional change:

- Issue #16754: Fix the incorrect shared library extension on linux. Introduce
  two makefile macros SHLIB_SUFFIX and EXT_SUFFIX. SO now has the value of
  SHLIB_SUFFIX again (as in 2.x and 3.1). The SO macro is removed in 3.4.

Although this does introduce some backward compatibility issues.  Perhaps sysconfig.get_config_var('SO') should be deprecated in 3.4 and removed in 3.5.
